Ark Invest Buys Crypto-Linked Stocks During Market Slide; Reports Differ on Size

Accounts differ on the headline number: Yellow reported Ark added approximately $25 million of these stocks on Monday [1], while CoinDesk and MoneyCheck reported Ark bought more than $70 million of crypto stocks during the same market dip [5][4].
